WHOLE-HEARTED HOLISTIC SERVICES IN TORBAY

What do you wish for?

This weekend is the time to set sights high, re-engage with our biggest dreams, and set in motion the tangible ability to receive that which we wish for.

Sagittarius New Moon on 1st December gives the Archer in all of us the optimism and broad reach to aim our arrows at the stars. But be ready, for we might just hit our targets.

Have you been playing small? Have you dimmed your light to fit in or make others feel better?

There’s no more accommodating what and who doesn’t serve. Including past old versions of Self. No more hiding.

Stepping into our greatest and truest expansion takes courage and wisdom. The wounds and growing pains it took each of us to develop to where we are today may still be healing. However, Sagi energy sure knows how to turn shit into manure.

Whether currently situations in life are ‘the good, the bad or the ugly’, keep moving forwards to find the gold within any grit and brighter days ahead. It might also be a pleasant surprise to look back and give yourself credit for just how far you’ve already come.

With the collective of the planet in huge transformation towards more humanitarianism, as Pluto recently shifted into Aquarius for the last time in our lifetimes, it’s time to go big or go home with what we have come here for.

Being the most loving we can to ourselves and each other can only fulfil and fast-track our development as individuals and a global community.

No more watching from the sidelines hoping for the expansion of limitless potential that we each have come here to embody and embrace, it’s time to know, claim and be it.

Anyone else felt the intensity of Shadow Season last month?

It felt like being put through a wringer, although I sure learnt a lot about myself in these recent transformational months. We always grow the most from the challenges.

Heck, didn’t the recent Eclipse Season residue, and also Pluto transiting the final degree of Capricorn, ensure we have either purged much that didn’t serve us, and/or integrated parts of us previously overlooked (mostly by ourselves). Not to mention a generational rebirth of the world stage is in motion.

With the Sun in Sagittarius until the 21st December, we might now notice a lighter, brighter energy in our step, a more optimistic outlook, and a reminder of the bigger picture. Sagittarius vibes are full of fun, gregariousness, and sociability, perfect for those Christmas parties!

Where the shadow-work in Scorpio Season invited us to get down into the deepest, darkest details of our grit, Sagittarius now asks us to bring our energy with more extroversion. As well as all the festive fun and mingling, we are called to not only remember but also act upon our broad potential and big dreams.

On a longer-term picture, Pluto freshly now in Aquarius sets the scene of a new rebirth cycle in motion for the next few decades. Pluto moving through a Zodiac sign always brings transformation to the collective with a flavour of that sign.

I sure am excited to see how this can benefit the humanitarianism of the planet with Pluto now in Aquarius. Whilst world events can definitively appear otherwise right now, we must remember that challenges are overcome by first being seen - it is often darkest before the dawn.

As the astrology reflects at this time, there is a new dawn underway, and to me, a solid step towards the potential for true unity. This of course starts with us, and how we treat ourselves and others.

Happy Sagi Season, and here's to positive change for us all (and our future generations) over the next few decades. Stella x

Welcome to this blog edition, and with it Full Moon blessings and much opportunity.

The word that keeps being given to me in different guises for this week's energies is STABLE. Although there's much to challenge this notion on the face of it, stability is the golden thread that runs throughout all of it. Subtle enough to miss perhaps, yet up for embodiment with our conscious action.

Amidst the intensity of the remaining throes of Scorpio Season, we are being gifted the stability and security of a fixed Earth sign Taurus Full Moon this week.

Amidst our transformation, we can access solid ground.

Amidst the birthing pains of this rebirth process, we can soothe with deep nourishment.

Amidst integrating our shadow aspects, we can bring our renewal into tangible form.

Being the energy and form of that which we wish to create is here for us. 

It might take baby steps, if, like me, you've been wading through some life challenge's to develop from lately. But they are steps nonetheless and change is happening for us, personally and collectively.

This Moon is conjunct Uranus, also in Taurus. The conjunction is a close relationship between the planets that bring a strong influence of each other's characteristics, and create a synergy from their own combination.

Uranus is the revolutionary, calling for change and innovation. The Moon is our subconscious, our emotional body, and our intuition. These two planets in partnership, deep within the Earthy tangibility of Taurus and all things material, gives us both the stability and the practicality to bring changes forward into our lives and reality, that have been processing in the recesses in recent weeks.

My Son pointed out an apt quote he noticed on my phone this morning, 'To achieve what you've never had, you must evolve into someone you've never been'. It couldn't be more synchronous or timely for these energies. 

We aren't going to be necessarily given a step-by-step guide on our personal or spiritual development, and even if we are, it will likely require us getting stuck in and taking action to find our way forward. Incorporating kinder, more loving decisions to ourselves and each other is indeed a practice.

Embodying and BEING the changes we wish to see in the world is a start, and an empowering start because any baby step we take on our wellness and kindness to self, ripples out to the collective. In this sense we are also role-modelling.

It can take time. Like the calm Bull, it is slow and steady energy that wins the long race. The shadow aspects of the Taurus Moon illuminated by the Scorpio Sun also remind us not to be too inflexible, stubborn, rigid, or indeed to charge into anger! Again, STABILITY is the key here.

This doesn't mean not taking action, it is about taking stable actions, coming from a place of love, and doing our best even if actions feel messy or challenging. 

Here are some wellness tips for riding these transformative energies with the most value and ease:

Get into nature. Immerse in this grounding energy both physically and in your awareness.

Ensuring deep nourishment of the body. Taurus teaches us how to feed the body, do this wisely with consistent, nutritious meals. It sounds basic but navigating energies and any life stuff requires energy and our system needs the correct fuel to support this.

Amp up the self-care. This is a time for loving on oneself deeply! The salt baths with candles and rose petals, cooking a favourite meal, plenty of sleep, exercise and water - all great ways to feed the physical, mental, emotional and energetic bodies.

Gather your support team. Knowing that we are never alone is one part of this incredible spiritual collective and journey, but physically mustering the people and environments that support our mental and emotional health at this time is CRUCIAL. Plus, being this support for others in your life may be crucial for them too (I've no doubt we are ALL working our way through some kind of stuff right now). We are in it together, even if our circumstances differ.

Do not be afraid to reach out to someone if you’re struggling.

Journalling on any shadow aspects that Scorpio Season still may lend itself to the transformation and rebirth processes available to us. Amazing opportunity of this time to do shadow work consciously.

If you are interested in accessing holistic interventions as one way to make down-time affordable and practical is by choosing an Evolve With Grace Membership. These offer discounted monthly treatments or readings to support true holistic wellbeing.

The beauty of this service is that it ensures the regularity of self-care, whilst offering members many exclusive benefits, such as a free weekly oracle card pull, free access to my ‘Learning Astrology’ online course library, and booster self-care sessions.

New Lunar Month - How to get the best from this transformative time.

Welcome to this blog edition, and with it an invitation to ride the inner depths of Scorpio Season together!

Personally, life has been really ‘life-ing’ lately as I’v been navigating a number of circumstances that have dampened my fires a little, which doesn’t always feel so inspiring to share! Yet, this has also sparked me to reflect, take necessary rest, and surrender to the flow.

It also got me thinking about authenticity, and when we share our true colours, not just our favourite ones, that also gives other’s permission to have an honest look at themselves too, thus potentially feeling more supported and connected by experience and truth. Us Brits are so good at the, ‘I’m fine’, statements - although they are not always true!

Not only are we often juggling numerous roles without question, this time of year might also shed some organic light, or in fact darkness, on tendencies towards more inner than outer quests. With Scorpio Season recently underway and the clocks going back this weekend in the Northern Hemisphere, I for one am feeling some hibernation energy beginning to settle in.

Depending on where you are in the world with the ‘Spring Forward, Fall Back’ hour change for daylight savings, you may be either springing forward with dynamism into the propulsion of Spring energy, or falling back (into the self) to prepare for the Wintering months with Autumn (more on self-care to support this later).

Scorpio season marks this time of deep inner transformation, embracing self-discovery, and uniting with the ‘shadow’ aspects of ourselves. In navigating the increase of darker days, as well as our own darkness, we have the opportunity to grow and develop from heightened awareness of our inner depths. By ‘darkness’ and ‘shadow’ aspects I simply mean that which is usually more hidden, deep-rooted, subconscious, suppressed or simply below the surface. These may be painful or may just be parts of ourselves we don’t enjoy as much. Yet, leaning into and accepting our less expressed sides gives us a healing dose of integration, self-acceptance and true wholeness.

Scorpio is the only Zodiac sign that has two archetypes; the Scorpion and the Eagle. The Scorpion relates to our desires and the lower drives of the physical body, ruled by the planet Mars. The Eagle represents taking the higher perspective and using the broad experience of life and it’s challenges to evolve and transform from, relating to the other ruling planet of Scorpio, Pluto.  

The death and rebirth process of inner transformation and Pluto energy relates to this time of year with recent periods of harvest, and now taking stock in these colder months. Our intuition is high, with awareness of what we are shedding and also what is up for renewal within and around us. This comes most successfully and with the most ease from transcending and learning from our inner depths.   

Through understanding both our light and our darkness, we have the full picture. Like the Eagle who soars above, it is in the wisdom of embracing the mix of our challenges and triumphs, our external ventures and inner voyages, day and night, that all shape us and build upon our development for true holistic wellbeing.

Metaphorically, I really am an eternal sunshine and upbeat-type person the large majority of the time - this said, I too cannot escape needing to walk through the occasional dark night of the soul to gain new transformation and wisdom!

Here are some wellness tips for riding Scorpio Season with the most ease:

Channel the Scorpion energy of desire and the planet Mars to reflect on where your life is currently meeting your deepest wishes. If your heart’s desires are not being met, what shifts or adjustments are needed? Baby steps and even simple reflections are a form of action through planning towards making deep desires a reality. Give yourself small, achievable daily tasks or support towards them.

Are you getting enough of your basic physical needs met? It sounds simple but sometimes we find it the hardest thing to do - drinking plenty of water, eating three nutritious meals a day, and getting adequate sleep are essential staples that impact EVERYTHING else, including how we think, feel and process inner and outer information.

What area of your life are you being called to transform from this reflective time? It may be one, or all of them! If it is more than one then reduce overwhelm by knowing that transformation shows up externally over time and starts with our realisations and baby steps. Also, a reminder that whilst it is developmental to have goals and forward-momentum, you are already perfect as you are, at the perfect place for right now, and things will continue to unfold perfectly - however that looks.

Surrender to life. Scorpio energy includes control and sometimes a tight grip (think of those pincers!), so relinquish this as much as possible.

Appropriate down-time is required for anytime, and in particularly in the colder months. Doing whatever brings you deep nourishment is what is best to schedule in the diary to ensure it happens!

One way to make down-time affordable and practical is by choosing an Evolve With Grace Membership, which offers discounted monthly treatments or readings to support true holistic wellbeing. The beauty of this service is that it ensures the regularity of self-care, whilst offering members many exclusive benefits, such as a free weekly oracle card pull, free access to my ‘Learning Astrology’ online course library, and booster self-care sessions. You can find more information or sign up on the memberships page of this website.

With the festive season rapidly approaching, the gift of self-care for some is even more important! Often busy periods of visiting relatives and ensuring everybody is catered for might mean an Evolve With Grace Membership could be the perfect gift to tick off the list for a loved one. Also, the perfect gift for oneself too!

This week's astrology and beyond. Plus, wellness tips for riding these energies...

Welcome to this week's blog and the Autumn vibes that are transitioning us to a more inner focus for the Winter months ahead.

As a Summer baby through and through, I can sometimes struggle with this transition, although, as we know with a cyclical nature of life and growth, eternal sunshine is just not possible! And actually, what this journey towards a more inner experience is offering, is some deep nourishment and transformation - if we are prepared to get still enough to absorb and hear it.

Taking the learning from the previous three quarters of this calender year and seeing how we would like to shape the final quarter is beneficial at this time. Any plans we want to wrap up or continue with may require a degree of our attention as the Festive Season approaches. This can be regards our inner and outer focus, and to ensure plans run as successfully as possible, I know I will be requiring a greater degree of attention on planning time for me as well as for other tasks.

We have navigated big transformative energies with the recent Eclipses, and the residue of their learning may still be underway or felt. Personally, I am still integrating some beautiful but extensive learning from the Eclipse period and am also being urged on a daily basis to slow down. Not always easy for a Sagittarius Moon-Sign!

If you’re not already taking time within your schedule simply for you, this is your reminder (and mine!) to do so. This is not only imperative due to what can often feel like a quickening towards the end of the year with Festive energy and often, extra commitments. Yet it is also organic to the Seasonal energy to slow down and take stock of our reserves to see us through the cold months ahead.

For me, this looks like time in the diary around external commitments to ground, get amongst the beautiful Autumnal oranges, and implement a reminder from nature to let go of anything no longer needed. I also have, of course, scheduled time in my happy place of sanctuary, the Sea.

I invite you to think about what nourishes your soul in Autumn, and generally. We can be of better service to others after we have been of service to ourselves first. The old adage is certainly true, we can’t pour from an empty cup. The Libra/Aries axis being activated at this time also reminds us of our healthy independence within relationships.

If you would like to book some discounted self-care for yourself or as a gift for others, check out my socials, the Memberships page of this website, or get in touch. I have some amazing opportunities with offers on self-care, monthly memberships, and festive gifts with meaning at the moment.

You may also wish to check out my YouTube channel and visit 'Eclipse Aftercare', to inspire and integrate learning from this time of upgrade and alignment. 

Enjoy the Autumnal vibes, much love, Stella x 

Happy New Moon in purifying Earth sign Virgo on 3rd Sept at 2.55am. It’s a big one, and it’s kicking off Eclipse Season! With loads of poignant astrology around it, thank goodness Virgo is bringing Earth Goddess and self-care vibes to the table! 

New Moons are a super time to begin the new lunar month with opportunity for fresh intentions, a big dose of manifestation potential, and support in taking the action steps that ensure the seeds we plant will grow strong.  

Virgo energy is queen for strengthening healthier routines that nourish us on every level. She asks where can we level up in our acts of service, to Self and others. Is this New Moon calling for you to upgrade your self-care regime? 

Choose achievable additions or changes that will be realistic to maintain, and get clear on how they will be implemented within your schedule. 

Is it a tweak to nutrition, fitness, or creating better sleep hygiene by prioritising earlier nights without screen time, for example? Is it bringing in more spiritual practice to soothe the soul, such as grounding or journaling more often? 

The Sun and Moon are opposite Saturn, meaning this New Moon wants us to get serious and knuckle down, whilst a square to Jupiter means we are challenged to assess how we ‘do’ abundance and freedom. 

All in all, this sobering opportunity can be utilised into beautiful habits of service to Self. Just be mindful to think, speak and act with kindness and support whilst doing so as Virgo energy can be perfectionist, whilst Saturn is authoritarian. There is no whip needed here to bring in a little more healthy alignment to areas of health. 

To celebrate all things Virgo Season, I am soon launching Evolve With Grace Memberships, for those who prioritise and schedule their holistic health with discounted monthly treatments/services, plus a loooad of other membership benefits! Coming soon!

Full Moon in Aquarius bringing some radical energy with it! Exact at 19.25 UK time on the 19th, with a synergistic potency for potential change and revolution.

The Sun in Leo opposite the Moon in Aquarius, gives the illuminated appearance and a polarity of balancing the belief in ourselves with recognising our part within the collective. How our droplet of individual uniqueness has an impact in the sea of our global community, and vice versa.

Evolved aspects of both Leo and Aquarius share authenticity without the need of approval from others. As Full Moons illuminate both evolved and shadow aspects present of any influences, it’s worth a check in to see if there’s any unhealed shadows vying for our attention and release. In this case, are we waiting for validation from others, or can we gift that to ourselves, exactly as we are? Are we solely dancing to the tune of society’s expectations of us, or are we living bravely enough to venture down our own path of that which brings us joy?

The Sun and Moon also squaring Uranus gives a dynamic of challenge requiring action as we are asked to be revolutionary, both in our conscious decision-making, communication, and all our endeavours. Maybe it’s a new way of living, or a whole new version of ourselves that wants to birth at this time.

Just remember that our confidence and sovereignty to make changes or to find solidity in self is the key to warming not only our own hearts but hearts around us. Considering our collective network and that we are in this crazy thing called life together!

Venus is especially active too by opposing Saturn to give an enhanced seriousness (or potential deepening) to relationships, with ourselves and with others. Another aspect from Venus to our planet of abundance and extravagance, Jupiter, reminds us to take stock of our inner and outer resources, both emotionally and physically, ensuring we cap unnecessary spending and remember the beauty in simplicity. As Mars, our planet of conflict is also in this mix, soothing self-care and nothing but kindness before acting or speaking is crucial for maintaining calm with our loved ones and connections.

Enjoy exploring how your life may be calling for inner and outer freedom and dynamism at the start of this new week and beyond. And as someone wise recently reminded me, ‘let life surprise you’.

Welcome to Leo Season! The bold, confident, courageous Fire sign that is bringing warmth, fun and play to the collective energy for the Solar month ahead!

With the planet Venus also in the romantic and loyal sign of Leo too we have a beautiful enhancement for our love & relationships! This of course relates to relationships of all kinds, so whether you’re single or committed, turn up the heat on loving gestures from the heart ♥️

Leo energy is solid and sovereign in its own light, and in being so naturally warms those around them. We can all utilise these fun and warm feels at any time, whatever our sign.

As I always say, don’t feel a need to wait for specific astrological events to bring in the energy we wish to see, whenever we choose to! It’s just that these events bring heightened opportunities should we wish to take them up!

Happy Leo Season! ♌️
